Disclosed herein is a system and method directed to object tracking and metric generation using a plurality of cameras. The system includes the plurality of cameras disposed around a playing surface in a mirrored configuration, where the plurality of cameras are time-synchronized. The system further includes logic that, when executed by a processor, causes performance of operations including: obtaining a sequence of images from a plurality of cameras, determining a subsection of a first image of the sequence of images having a highest probability of including the object, detecting the object within the subsection of the first image through object recognition processing, triangulating a location of the object within the playing space using the first image and the second image, and determining a subsection of a third image of the sequence of images having a highest probability of including the object based on the triangulated location of the object.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein the sequence of images is captured by the plurality of cameras at a same frame rate.
3. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein determining the subsection of the first image of the sequence of images having the highest probability of including the object is based on one or more of a knowledge of a positioning of the plurality of cameras around the playing space, a positioning of an object-launching machine, or launch parameters of the object.
4. The computerized method of claim 1, wherein the object is a soccer ball.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the sequence of images is captured by the plurality of cameras at a same frame rate.
10. The system of claim 8, wherein determining the subsection of the first image of the sequence of images having the highest probability of including the object is based on one or more of a knowledge of a positioning of the plurality of cameras around the playing space, a positioning of an object-launching machine, or launch parameters of the object.
11. The system of claim 8, wherein the object is a soccer ball.
16. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the sequence of images is captured by the plurality of cameras at a same frame rate.
17. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein determining the subsection of the first image of the sequence of images having the highest probability of including the object is based on one or more of a knowledge of a positioning of the plurality of cameras around the playing space, a positioning of an object-launching machine, or launch parameters of the object.
18. The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the object is a soccer ball.
